Nashik onion farmers threaten nationwide protest if Centre's intervention triggers price fall. Farmers at the moment are getting a good price for the yield but that would drop if the Centre procured onion to control rising prices. They fear central government market interventions will bring open-market wholesale prices below...

Friedberg: Two Reasons Why Drug Prices are So Expensive in America 📈 🫰 1) Government intervention in the market 🏢 "The way that we negotiate drug prices is pretty messed up." "As is the case with the cost of education and the cost of housing, the cost of drugs is largely inflated because of the federal government's role in being the primary buyer or capital provider to that market." "Through our purchases of prescription drugs, the federal government, as a buyer, doesn't have any incentive to keep prices low." " If every individual had to pay for their drugs, or private insurance was the only way to get your drugs, we would have a much more dynamic marketplace." 2) PBMs marking up prices 📈 "There's also this construct in the market, these PBMs or pharmacy benefit managers." "If they got cut out of the market, it would save a lot." "There's three major PBMs, CVS Caremark, Express Scripts, and Optum RX. They make money in markups." "The FTC has been investigating them and have several open cases." "Between 2017 and 2022, the estimate is that these companies generated $7.3B in excess profit by marking up prices on specialty generic drugs." "So as an intermediary, they provide this role where they can coordinate between the health insurer, the pharmacy which dispenses the drugs, and the drug manufacturers." Chamath: " But they're allowed to be owned by the payer, which is crazy." Friedberg: " And now they're allowed to be owned by the payer." "And there's a lot of obfuscation of the true cost of the drugs. There's a lot of markups, a lot of spread taking." "And so if you took the PBMs out of the market, that would solve one of the problems." " But at the end of the day, anytime the federal government is involved as a payer in any market-based system, it creates a distortion and the market is no longer free or efficient." david friedberg

As a young socialist, Hayek read Ludwig von Mises’ 1920 paper “Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth.” Mises showed that socialist central planning isn’t merely inefficient, it’s impossible. Without private property and genuine market prices, planners lack any rational way to allocate scarce resources or determine real costs and needs. Even Oskar Lange, a leading socialist in the calculation debate, effectively conceded the point. While he promoted “market socialism” with trial-and-error pricing by a central board, real-world socialist planners in Eastern Europe quietly relied on world capitalist market prices as a guide. Without external free-market price signals, pure socialism would be economically blind and coordination would collapse. Mises went further, arguing that interventionism, the “middle way” of government meddling, is inherently unstable. Each intervention creates problems that invite more interventions, eventually leading to full socialization. Price controls cause shortages, subsidies distort production, and the cycle continues until the economy is fully planned. The lesson is clear. Rational economics requires genuine market prices emerging from voluntary exchange and private property. Half-measures don’t stabilize the system. They accelerate the drift into central planning. The Austrian School understood this decades before the collapse of the Soviet bloc proved it in practice.
